This year unfortunately has been a very quiet year in terms of blogging. I guess when I was younger, I tended to want to blog about every single thing, big or small, that I encountered. Now that I am
As mentioned at the start of the semester, I was supposed to maintain a blog as part of CS3216's requirements, but I had problems keeping up even with that.
Well I hope things will change for the better and this place will become more lively when I fly off to the United States for my Student Exchange Programme next year. I have not done much preparations besides asking travel agencies for airfare prices; now is not quite the right time to settle them. A bunch of documents and emails have just reached me but I can only start flipping through them when my first two papers are over tomorrow. On the bright side, I am more or less done with the modules to take there, barring a couple of module mappings to be approved on NUS' side.
A sense of guilt overcame me yesterday when I read the Straits Times' Saturday Special Report on the Singaporeans who need help the most: the physically and mentally disabled, the single parents, the uneducated, and the large families who struggle to find work to keep themselves going.
After reading their stories, I looked at myself and thought about all the ridiculous amounts of money that I am going to fork out for my SEP, and I wondered whether I should have tried harder and looked for a partner university nearer to home, or even not have applied for SEP at all.
Well I can't exactly back out now, so I shall make a mental note to myself not to spend unnecessarily while I'm abroad.
On a sidenote, I've got a new phone! [ Did I just contradicted my own words? ]
Sorry it is a photo of the same thing again. Maybe I will do a review later :)
